Through our CE21 platform, you can easily access up-to-date practices in mental health and related fields whenever your schedule permits. This is a perfect solution if you need to earn CE credits efficiently. 

• Live Webinars and Summits: Participate in engaging live events hosted by IVAT, including our annual Hawaii Summit and other specialized webinars throughout the year. These events bring expert knowledge directly to you, whether you join us in person or virtually.
